Notre Dame-Northwestern to renew rivalry in 2014

The two schools announced a deal for a home-and-home series that will begin in 2014 when the Wildcats travel to South Bend. Notre Dame will return the favor in 2018.

The two schools have met 47 times, most recently in 1995, with Notre Dame owning a 37-8-2 edge in the all-time series.

The announcement was made Thursday morning on ESPN Radio’s ‘Mike & Mike in the Morning’ show.

"Northwestern and Notre Dame represent two of the finest academic institutions in the nation, and it's only fitting that we renew our rivalry on the football field," Northwestern athletic director Jim Phillips said in a prepared statement.
